This exquisite print showcases the delicate beauty of Pteris rotundifolia, captured by the talented British photographer Anna Atkins in 1853. Known for her pioneering work in cyanotype photography, Atkins was one of the first women to use this technique to document botanical specimens. Measuring 25.4 × 19.4 cm (10 × 7 5/8 inches), this image transports us back to Victorian England, where Atkins meticulously arranged and exposed ferns onto light-sensitive paper to create stunning blue-toned prints. The intricate details of each frond are brought to life through the cyanotype process, revealing a mesmerizing interplay between light and shadow. Anna Atkins' passion for botany is evident in her careful composition and attention to detail. Her dedication shines through as she captures the essence of Pteris rotundifolia, showcasing its rounded leaflets with grace and precision. This remarkable print from the Liszt Collection serves as a testament not only to Anna Atkins' artistic talent but also her significant contribution to early photography. Through her innovative use of cyanotype, she paved the way for future generations of photographers while leaving behind an enduring legacy that continues to inspire today.
